SAFETY, WASTE DISPOSAL, AND MONITORING 65 inhalation and ingestion. The film opens with an explanation of how air currents and turbulences carry various substances, some of which may be hazardous. It shows why highly toxic materials like plutonium can best be handled in a gloved box. The principles of the gloved box are then explained in detail. Such items are covered as: the air flow and pressures within the box; the "bagging in" and "bagging out" of mate- rials; the procedures for changing gloves on the box; the changing of the filter; and a method for handling a fire within the box.

Cleared for television. This semitechnical documentary film discusses in detail the radiation- safety program of the national atomic energy program, using the procedures at USAEC's National Reactor Testing Station in Idaho as the typical illustrative example. The film covers the separation- distance factor; the storage and/or dispersal of radioactive wastes; protection of populations, water, crops, and livestock by air and environmental monitoring; protection of workers by film badges, protective clothing, radiation counters, shielding, remote-control de- vices, decontamination procedures, and biochemical studies. PRACTICE OF RADIOLOGICAL SAFETY (Radioisotopes Series). . . See page 76 PRIMER ON MONITORING (1949). 27 minutes, color. Produced by the Film Dept., UCLA, West Los Angeles, Calif., for the University of California Medical Center. For sale from Consolidated Film Industries, at $130.12 per print, including shipping case, F.O.B. Los Angeles. Available for loan (free) from USAEC headquarters and field libraries or UCLA. Cleared for television. The film discusses the basic makeup of atoms and the types of radio- activity. Principles of radiation detection and measuring instruments are displayed, including a method of calibrating survey meters. The film also illustrates the penetrative ability of the various types of radiation encountered in monitoring and sets forth radiation-monitor ing procedures best used in a chemical laboratory. (Some of the instru- ments used in this film are obsolete by current standards, although the principles involved and discussed are still valid.)
